I’ll have to admit—the picture was distressing.
I guess this is another example of media making something out of nothing; another entry on the list of people who get written about because they get written about.
At one time she was about as hot as a girl gets.
Now she doesn’t even look good for 48.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.
Scarred and Skinny is the new Gorgeous, I Guess.
On older women, a little extra meat on the bones smooths things out a bit.
I say this as a “generously endowed” older woman! LOL!
No wonder they closed the comment section.
She’s spent far too much time in the sun; trust me when I say that skin cancer is no fun at all.
I cringed a little at the abdominal stretch marks. Other than that she looks good for her age.
Whatever happened to dignity?
Lookin’ like all those years in the sun have started to take effect...
I'll stick with 80's Cindy Crawford.
Terrible picture. I know a 62 year old woman that would knock her out of the box. Yoga pants and all.
WOW....I feel REALLY good about myself now, and I’m almost 64!
No kidding!!!
She has more wrinkles than I do and I'm almost 63!
She’s slathered with really heavy duty makeup, bare faced I bet she looks a lot better.
I can’t get past the Mole. LOL
Well, I think part of the problem is that they posted the photo in jpeg format, with compression, and a low resolution! There seems to be a lot of “noise” and distortion caused by that, so it’s hard to tell how good/bad she actually looks.
Calling this “unretouched” is a bit of a misnomer, when the format itself is altering the image.
Oh let me retract that. I just looked at the small picture they had at the top of the page, I hadn’t scrolled down to see the “full body” shot. Now I see the issues...
They make a point of showing a moderately overweight woman or an older woman, and without outright saying it, they are trying to make men feel guilty for thinking that a young woman is more attractive physically to them than the less physically attractive female. What is unsaid (or even sometimes it is said) is: "Why are you shallow men attracted to a young nubile woman, when you can have a more physically imperfect woman who has a better brain and personality?"
I simply think it flies in the face of biology. I am an older guy, and I look at someone like this:
And it makes me feel, well...hey! That is one singularly attractive woman! (never mind, to paraphrase what Herb Brooks once said of a hockey player, I believe she might have: "A million dollar body and a ten cent fart for a brain", but...she is indeed attractive.
I admire a woman with engaging personality, intellect, and common sense, and that goes a long way towards being attractive to me, but if I see a 20 year old cheerleader from a college and a fifty-plus woman with a lined face, both can be attractive, but in the absence of anything else (all things being equal) the young woman is closer to bringing out the wolf in me than the older woman. I think it is simply biology at work, it is the way we are wired. Men are very visual. (There's a big surprise!)
Now, five minutes of conversation and interaction may change that completely. But men die younger than women, and there is a reason for that:
